"Ian's knot" or "Ian's secure knot"?
- eternityforest 2y agoIsn't Ian's original just a regular shoelace bow but tied faster/in a way that's less likely to make a granny knot for some people?
- ndsipa_pomu 2y agoIt's the same, but I don't think it particularly helps to avoid a granny knot as that's determined by the orientation of the initial cross-over knot.
- jacknews 2y agoYes, "Ian's secure knot". "Ian's knot" is just the regular shoelace, done wrong - starting with a left-over-right twist, instead of right-over-left. So that knot will twist to vertical and self-loosen.
